Dawn threads pale light across the Caspian and the glass of modern Baku catches it—steel and curve answering the sea. On the first evening of a three-day sweep through the city, the bus eases into the cobbled throat of Icherisheher, the Old City, and the group spills out beneath the shadow of Maiden Tower. Voices lower; the stones seem to keep their own time. You move from contemporary façades to millennia in the space of a single day.

Baku’s fortunes rose with oil in the 19th century, rapidly transforming it from a fortified medieval port into a modern, international city; Gobustan’s petroglyphs, however, point to human presence tens of thousands of years earlier.
Many of Gobustan’s petroglyph panels and the mud volcanoes are fragile—stay on marked trails, avoid touching rock art and follow guide instructions to minimize impact.
